The only things you can "buy" via the game are appearance items / housing stuff.
The only thing you might consider gameplay effecting from a $ point is that you can buy a flying mount and skip the quest, but the quest aint bad.

D3 = pay2win.

As with any game, you can buy plat/gold / currancy online from koreans for $$$, however, you wont need to if you come play cause ill give ya plenty if you are serious about giving it a go. If you have raided on other games I can get you up to speed and raiding here for to, from there its super easy to get plat / gear.

Ever since Star Wars: The Old Republic was announced, it was a sure thing that we'd see the Hunter Killer assassin droids in the game, and indeed Bioware has released a teaser trailer announcing the appearance of HK-51, a few models down the line from everyone's favorite meatbag-loathing machine, HK-47.

Presumably, the droid will appear in the game as a player companion, though how he'll be unlocked for characters isn't yet apparent. The trailer mentions an ancient ice base where
"scores" of "the most dangerous machines in the galaxy" exist, so there will likely be a bit of story and questing to go through to find this model and use it.

WoW was nowhere near "polished" when it first came out. It got there over time with a lot of patches.

Lol. Yes, I know this. I said this hundreds of times on forums and in chat during swtor. I defended swtor tooth and nail with this statement, but bioware dropped the ball hard. This is 2012 not 2004, there isn't excuses to not listen to your audience.

Blizzard is seeing the exact same thing occur with Diablo right now.

I understand that, but from my reading of forums, if they listened to every single whining post they would have those games going in so many different directions no one could keep up with it all.

Some of the requests are obvious and both games have been working on them from what ive seen, but there was some crap that ive seen people saying that is just bitching and isnt legitimate.

The biggest issue with SWTOR was the servers. Had they had very few servers on launch and launched new servers as the beginning ones filled up then they would have been much better off and i dont think people would have had AS many issues.

Still some issues that seemed like they might have not been preventable and needed the community playing it to uncover.

Same with Diablo, some things just needed that massive amount of people playing to be able to see what needed to be changed. Beta testing isnt a true test of a game imo.

Im looking forward to getting back and playing both games after deployment. I doubt they will just say fuck it and drop development of either game any time in the next couple years.

I never played GW1 so I cannot compare the two. The GW2 beta has improved greatly in the last several months and I think it will be a solid game (for a few months anyway). No monthly sub is nice as well. I really look forward to seeing our guild back together more than anything.

I played both and GW2 is much better IMO. I hated the whole aspect of having to quest to get skills. GW2 allows players to play how they want. Not to mention their cash shop is the first one to make since and not be "pay to win" like a lot of others are. And they actually made Guilds worth being in and PvP feels just right.
